Sally wants to buy some groceries. She wants to buy 2 kg of potatoes and 1 kg of onions. 1 kg of onions cost $5 but the paper that shows price of potatoes got lost. However, Sally remembers that few weeks ago she bought 3 kg of potatoes for $12. How much did Sally spent buying groceries?

Part 1:
First we need to find how much 1 kg of potatoes cost.
3*x = 12
x = 4
1 kg of potatoes cost $4

Part 2:
Now we need to find how much did she spent.
M = 4*2 + 1*5 = $13.

Write an explicit formula for then th an. term of the sequence 45, 15,5. ....

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The sequence above is a geometric sequence

For an nth in a geometric sequence

$u(n) = a {r}^{n - 1}$

where n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 45

r = 15 / 45

The explicit formula for the sequence is

U(n) = 45(1/3)^n-1

Hope this helps you

Which of the following is the general term for the sequence? -a, a^2, -a^3, a^4,...

Elis [28]

Answer:

The answer would be $-a(-a)^{n-1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply substitute the terms into this equation. Checking the 1st term, $-a(-a)^{1-1} = -a(-a)^{0} = -a(1) = -a$ . Moving on to the second term, we see $-a(-a)^{2-1} = -a(-a)^{1} = -a(-a) = a^{2}$ . And so on and so forth. We can see how the answer fluctuates between negative and positive, while gaining one more exponent every term, which fits with the sequence given. Therefore, the answer would be $-a(-a)^{n-1}$ .
